How Much Of The Universe Can Humanity Ever See? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eVoh27gJgME
There was a paper published 19 years ago which said, ““Physicists now believe that entanglement between particles exists everywhere, all the time, and have recently found shocking evidence that it affects the wider, ‘macroscopic’ world that we inhabit.” (Quantum Entanglement in Time” by Caslav Brukner, Samuel Taylor, Sancho Cheung, Vlatko Vedral, http://www.arxiv.org/abs/quant-ph/0402127 [2004]) Such macro-entanglement was confirmed in 2020 when researchers reported the quantum entanglement between the motion of a millimetre-sized mechanical oscillator and a disparate distant spin system of a cloud of atoms. (Thomas, R.A., Parniak, M., Østfeldt, C. et al. Entanglement between distant macroscopic mechanical and spin systems. Nat. Phys. 17, 228–233 [2021] https://doi.org/10.1038/s41567-020-1031-5) Later work complemented this work by quantum-entangling two mechanical oscillators (“Direct observation of deterministic macroscopic entanglement” - https://www.science.org/doi/10.1126/science.abf2998).
Oneday, the new-technology telescopes will create entanglement of the scope with the universe 1,000,000 light years away (or infinitely further). Then we’ll be able to look way past the Big Bang and discover an infinite, eternal universe. Even better – we can entangle spaceships with the infinity and instantly visit places that existed 1 million years ago and more. Even better again – we can forget spaceships and entangle ourselves with Earth and those infinite places simultaneously. Then we can explore in jeans and a T-shirt while enjoying Earth’s air, temperature, pressure, solidity, etc.
Wouldn't we be torn apart as the biological beings that we are rather than being an indestructible indivisible particle?
No, we'd be like those quantum-entangled particles that seem to be in more than one place simultaneously. Those particles aren't torn apart.
Maybe that means there is actually only one place in the universe in a FUNCTIONAL sense. Maybe everything in space and time is undetectably connected into one thing functionally and seeming to be in more than one place at once is a result of our limited perception and limited technology.
